RecyclerViewInjectorAdapter

RecyclerViewInjectorAdapter wraps your regular RecyclerView.Adapter and adds possibility to inject custom views on desired position without hassle.

• Works with stable IDs & non-stable ID adapters
• In most cases, requires no changes to your adapter (see Caution)
• Supports multiple view injections
• Supports all items animations
• Supports Android 15+

Demo

Add it to your Project

Include the library in your build.gradle

dependencies {

  compile 'com.holidaycheck:recyclerviewinjectoradapter:1.0.3' 
}

or to your pom.xml if you are using Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.holidaycheck</groupId>
  <artifactId>recyclerviewinjectoradapter</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.3</version>
  <type>aar</type> </dependency> 

Configuration

To enable injecting views you need to wrap your regular adapter with RecyclerViewInjectorAdapter and set it to RecyclerView.

Assuming that your code looks similar to this

MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter();
  RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
 recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter)

You should change it to

MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter();
 RecyclerViewInjectorAdapter injectorAdapter = new RecyclerViewInjectorAdapter(adapter)  RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
 recyclerView.setAdapter(injectorAdapter)

Usage

After the configuration, you can inject views

injectorAdapter.inject(new InjectedViewCreator() {

  @Override
  public View createView() {

Button button = new Button(getApplicationContext());

button.setText("This is injected Button on position 5");

return button;
  
}
 
}
, 5);
 

Remove injected view by passing position

injectorAdapter.removeInjectedView(5);

There are some methods to control the visibility of injected views

For more details take a look at the javadoc.

Caution

• Every update that refers to the regular item should be dispatched to your child adapter.
• getAdapterPosition() method of your RecyclerView.ViewHolder now returns position that include also injected views below that position. To get the position without injected views included, please use int realChildAdapterPosition = injectorAdapter.toChildAdapterPosition(getAdapterPosition()) or get rid of getAdapterPosition() by passing reference to your data to ViewHolder and then getting position from your underlying data structure.
